IF the IAF is given the GREEN LIGHT to bomb Pakistani Terror camps ARE PAF capable of stopping them.
AND are the PAF able to BOMB IAF sites in response.
MY OPINION the pakistanis though highly trained and well motivated and very poorly equipped.
NO WAY CAN THEY STOP IAF with their current line ups,.
PAFS Best warplane is a F16 block 15 which has a APG66 radar and SPARROW missle with range of 40 miles max. These planes are due a MLU in 2 years time.
Theres only 38 fighters.
PAF has 170 CHINEASE F7 but these have no BVR ONLY PL9 WVR AAM max range 15km
thes rest is over 150 miragr 3/5 These are from 1970S VINTAGE with magic AAM and some matra BVR WITH RANGE OF 40KM.
THE PAF have no advanced SAM system like s300 or patriot and no AWACS.
-----------------------------------------------------------
IAF have a very large AIR FORCE with over 300 BVR capable fighters.
80 x SU30 MKI R27/R77 BVR missles radar tracks at 200km and missles engage at 100km
70 x mig29 = R27 R77 & KYPO RADAR trackes at 60km
120 mig21 BISON ditto to MIG29
51 mirage 2000 x MATRA 530D tracks at 80km AAM engages at 40km
over 250 JAGUARS & MG27 strike planes
IAF also have over 30 SAM batteries from SAM 3 SAM 8 SAM 16 & S300 & AKASH sam SYSTEM.
I THINK THE PAF will lose any air battle they have no BVR CAPABLE FIGHTER.
